WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send a textWhen evaluating WMS systems for 2026, it is essential to recognize that this is a structurally best-of-breed category rather than an extension of ERP or eCommerce platforms. This analysis deliberately excludes lightweight warehouse workflows embedded in broader systems, which are primarily designed to pass transactions downstream into a true WMS and lack the functional depth, orchestration complexity, and automation readiness required by serious distribution operations. True WMS platforms represent a category in their own right, with broader suites, richer integration patterns, and materially different architectural demands. Compounding this complexity is the diversity of operational models the category must support, from 3PL-centric environments focused on billing logic, client segregation, SLAs, and rapid customer onboarding, to manufacturing- and retail-centric value chains that prioritize production staging, kitting, reverse logistics, store replenishment, and omnichannel fulfillment. These differences are further reinforced by the technical segmentation of the category into WMS, WCS, and WES layers, with some vendors offering unified suites and others remaining purely transactional without deep integration into ASRS, robotics, conveyors, or advanced warehouse technologies—distinctions that materially affect long-term system fit and scalability.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top WMS systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these WMS systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each WMS system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78YHLvbCbuARead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-wms-systems/Questions for Panelists?

Try designing a checkout flow that handles everything from dog food to pallets of cattle feed to live chickens. Now make it work flawlessly when your customer is standing on the far side of their 60-acre property with a weak cell signal. That's the daily reality at Tractor Supply, and it's exactly why their non-technical leader running digital might be their biggest advantage.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as we sit down with Matthew Rubin, President of Digital and E-Commerce at Tractor Supply, whose career spans retail operations, merchant roles, and store management before landing in digital. Matthew explains why they're mobile-native, designing web experiences specifically for customers walking around properties who need to quickly reorder feed without pulling out a laptop. We explore how COVID created an unexpected surge in self-sufficiency seekers, why Tractor Supply puts "Buy It Again" as a primary header when competitors bury it, and how delivering diversity creates logistics nightmares that become competitive advantages. Matthew reveals why their drivers don't just drop pallets at the end of driveways but ask where on the property customers want deliveries and take notes for the next driver. We discuss how omnichannel customers visit stores more often (not less) because BOPIS drives additional foot traffic, why their 20,000 square foot fusion stores put team members right at the front welcoming customers, and how their Scout AI platform answers "how do I" questions based on local climate and customer needs. Key Actionable Takeaways:Design for your customer's actual context, not ideal conditions - Mobile-native means optimizing for weak cell signals on rural properties where customers manage animals and land, not just making responsive layouts that work on phonesElevate repeat purchase functionality to primary navigation - Put "Buy It Again" as a header instead of burying it in order history; saving seconds matters when customers are juggling chores and multiple animal feed typesTrain delivery teams to personalize last-mile experiences - Have drivers ask where on properties customers want bulky items dropped and document preferences so future drivers know, creating neighborhood-level service at scaleWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

En esta entrevista de Vida Digital, Alex Neuman conversa con Steffy Hochstein, directora digital de Another Company, sobre las principales lecciones que el comercio electrónico de América Latina puede aprender de los gigantes chinos sin caer en el simple “copiar y pegar” del modelo. Steffy explica cómo la infraestructura logística de China, con hubs casi totalmente automatizados, flotas autónomas y entregas incluso en zonas rurales el mismo día, contrasta con una Latinoamérica donde aún faltan cobertura, automatización y capacidad de inversión, aunque desde la pandemia de 2020 se ha avanzado de forma importante.Abordan también los obstáculos regulatorios y de aranceles que encarecen y retrasan envíos hacia la región, frente a marcos más claros y tratados comerciales mejor aprovechados por China con Europa, lo que obliga a gobiernos latinoamericanos a modernizar reglas si quieren acelerar su e‑commerce. En pagos digitales, Steffy describe cómo en China y gran parte de Europa el efectivo prácticamente ha sido desplazado por billeteras móviles integradas en el teléfono, mientras que en Latinoamérica persisten baja bancarización, preferencia por efectivo y pago contra entrega, y una fuerte desconfianza alimentada por fraudes y mal uso de datos.La conversación entra en el rol de la inteligencia artificial en la personalización extrema de la oferta en plataformas chinas, frente a un uso todavía incipiente en la región, donde falta “data limpia”, capacidades técnicas y un marco que genere confianza en el manejo de datos personales. También comentan el live shopping como formato donde China ya tiene toda una industria montada, mientras que en Latinoamérica la audiencia sigue siendo cauta y demanda más demostraciones, especificaciones y garantías antes de comprar en vivo.Steffy subraya que el reto latinoamericano no es replicar a AliExpress o Temu, sino adaptar las mejores prácticas a la realidad local: combinar infraestructura existente, inclusión financiera, educación al usuario y estrategias comerciales que pongan al cliente en el centro. De cara a 2030, apuesta a que el verdadero diferencial para los retailers latinoamericanos estará primero en la bancarización y los pagos digitales, como base para luego escalar en logística avanzada e inteligencia artificial, siempre privilegiando la confianza del usuario y la sostenibilidad de los márgenes.
Lo más habitual suele ser preguntar sobre plataformas ecommerce a las plataformas. ¿Quién va a ser explicarte mejor que ellas mismas aquello en lo que son fuertes y diferenciales? Pero también ofrecen lógicamente un sesgo, es difícil sacarles aquello en lo que son débiles. Pues eso no va a pasar esta vez.Mireia León es la Managing Director de la agencia Webimpacto, parte de WIM Group. Y hablando con ellos vi que tenían capacidad de desarrollo en casi todos los principales plataformas: Prestashop, Shopify, Adobe-Magento, Wordpress, Salesforce, Bigcommerce y Vtex. Así que enfocamos la conversación para ir comentando para qué suelen usar cada tecnología, sus fortalezas y debilidades.

Join the Apparel Success Mastermind (limited time price drop): https://www.skool.com/apparel-success-mastermindSponsored by Design.com — create designs faster: https://www.design.com/rob88I'm going to give you the most in-depth strategy session on how to do content marketing for your clothing brand in 2026 — and why most clothing brands never get sales from TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.After generating millions of views across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, doing $1M+ in online sales, and working with 500+ clothing brands one-on-one, I can tell you this: most clothing brands post the same “lookbook / product promo” content over and over… and then wonder why they're stuck at a couple hundred views and zero sales.In this video, I'm breaking down the exact process to make content work (using the scientific method + experimentation), how to find a repeatable content formula, and what's actually working right now in 2026: authenticity, parasocial connection, and relatable content that people want to share.If you're building a clothing brand, streetwear brand, apparel business, or ecommerce brand, this will show you how to turn content into real traction — not just “posts.”
Can proper compliance really add millions to your business valuation? In today's episode, we connect with Reuben Mattinson, Founder and CEO of RJM Tax Exemption, to explore what it means to build truly exit-ready operations in the world of ecommerce… Founded in 2019, RJM was born out of firsthand frustration. When Reuben and his team launched their own ecommerce business in the U.S., they quickly found themselves overwhelmed by IRS rules, registrations, state sales tax collection, and conflicting guidance from lawyers, accountants, banks, and revenue departments. After investing significant time untangling the complexity, they realized other sellers were facing the same challenges — and RJM began. What started with just 10 clients has since grown into a global consultancy serving over 5,000 businesses worldwide, helping ecommerce brands stay compliant, scalable, and acquisition-ready. Hit play to find out: How Reuben's unique background fuels RJM's mission. Examples of exit strategies done right and horribly wrong. How tax readiness impacts valuation and exits. Reuben's path to entrepreneurship is anything but conventional. After earning degrees in physiotherapy in 2012 and in science teaching in 2013, he began building RJM alongside his studies. In under three years, he scaled the company from infancy into a multi-million-dollar global ecommerce consultancy, achieving #1 Trustpilot ratings in the U.S. by age 30.

What's the point of building wealth if you don't use it to design a life you actually want? In part 6 of the Financial Mastery Series, I talk about what happens after you've done the hard work. You've built a profitable business, optimized your financial levers, borrowed wisely, and invested outside your company—now comes the deeper question: What is freedom actually for? Listen in as I share how I tracked my own path toward financial independence, the mindset shifts that came (and didn't come) when I crossed that threshold, and why designing a business you can happily run for a decade may be far more fulfilling than retiring early. You'll learn why it's about earning the ability to choose your work, instead of being controlled by it.

In just one year, Daily Harvest was acquired by Chobani, dropped its subscription requirement, and launched a campaign calling out the wellness hype machine. CEO Ricky Silver joins us to talk about the facts in an industry dominated by fiction. Selling Food, Not Fiction Key takeaways: The wellness hype machine is exhausting consumers. Daily Harvest's "Eat Food, Not Fiction" is its counter-punch. Subscription was a business convenience, not a consumer demand, and removing the gate unlocked growth. Consumer sovereignty and business autonomy are in tension with one another. The brands that resolve it will win. LLMs are the new discovery layer. Brands must build authoritative, trusted ecosystems to surface in AI answers. Fixing the food system requires collectivism, even with rivals. "Some of our best consumers were the ones who engaged with the skipping function. Active management meant they were finding the right cadence for them." — Ricky Silver "Connection is a motive. It is not tech-driven — even if technology is the thing bringing us together." — Ricky Silver Associated Links: Learn more about Daily Harvest Catch up on Future Commerce's 2026 predictions Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

En este episodio de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Valentina Orduz repasan un día cargado en mercados con un S&P 500 que sigue firme pese a las minutas de la Fed más pesimistas, resultados sólidos pero con señales de cautela en el consumo a través de Walmart, y un capítulo clave de geopolítica económica que se juega en los cielos con Airbus, Boeing, Pratt & Whitney y Vietnam en el centro del tablero. Primero, el bloque macro se centra en cómo el mercado digiere unas minutas en donde la Fed vuelve a poner la palabra “aumento” sobre la mesa, manteniendo la narrativa de “pausa prolongada” más que de giro agresivo, mientras los futuros siguen descontando recortes moderados. Luego pasamos al consumo con Walmart, un trimestre fuerte en ventas y negocios de mayor margen como publicidad y eCommerce, pero con una guia de utilidades más floja, que refleja un consumidor bifurcado y una gestión muy cuidadosa del riesgo de tarifas, márgenes y desaceleración.En el bloque de aviación y geopolítica, el episodio explora cómo Airbus sufre cuellos de botella por motores Pratt & Whitney justo cuando Boeing empieza a recuperar momentum comercial, apoyado por un mega pedido de aerolíneas vietnamitas que es tanto un contrato de aviones como una carta de negociación frente a Washington.

February is not only the shortest calendar month but also typically the slowest sales month for eCommerce and – because of that – is often the month that I see business owners make fear-based snap decisions that end up hurting their profitable growth long-term… Remember when you bought that course that promised the "exact funnel" that would generate sales while you sleep? Or set up your email flows in 2021 and haven't touched them since? Or wondered why your ads aren't performing like they used to, even though you're doing the same things that worked before? You're not alone. The online marketing industry spent the last decade selling us a fantasy: that there's a silver bullet. One funnel, one template, one winning ad that you build once and profit from forever. Set it and forget it. Passive income. Automated success. It was a seductive promise — and it was a lie. In this episode, I'm breaking down why "set and forget" marketing is quietly killing brands, what's actually happening when your results start declining (hint: it's not just the algorithm), and the mindset shift that separates brands that grow from brands that plateau. If you've been searching for the magic formula that solves marketing forever, this one might sting a little — but it'll also set you free.

Why did we think this was an interesting episode?Paul & James are regularly involved in ecommerce redesign projects, either in an advisory capacity or helping drive the design thinking.This episode explores the reasons why brands decide to invest in a redesign:Brand refresh or a full rebrand.Brand elevation of the online UX e.g. premium positioning.Improved user journeys to fix legacy constraints.Outcome focused e.g. fix navigation and browse journeys.It then teases out the justifications for redesign projects, sharing views on how design can and should be measured objectively.James & Paul also dissect the intangible goal of many design projects: to elevate the brand positioning, to create a premium look & feel.Goals like this need clear definition and framing to ensure the design outputs work towards a clear vision and execution. They also need tangible measurements of success, even if they're not conversion focused.The key take-away is that design has to be measured, and the metrics you use need to be agreed upfront. If there are no hard & fast commercial success metrics like conversion and AOV, then take a sensible approach to measuring customer impact, for example customer satisfaction & NPS.Chapters:[00:30] Introduction to Redesign Metrics[03:40] Understanding Brand Elevation[06:10] Balancing Design and Ecommerce[09:00] Defining a Premium Experience[12:30] Measuring Redesign Success[15:25] The Role of User Testing[18:15] Navigating Redesign Challenges[21:10] The Importance of KPIs[22:46] Final Thoughts on Redesigns

Cherene Aubert is the CEO of Growth Capital, a growth marketing firm that scales consumer brands. As a seasoned e-commerce and digital growth leader, she has nearly two decades of experience scaling DTC brands and managing media investments across multiple high-growth companies. Before Growth Capital, Cherene was the Fractional SVP of Digital & eCommerce at ILIA Beauty, where she drove omnichannel digital strategy for a rapidly growing clean beauty brand. In this episode… Marketing has become automated and identical across companies. Brands chase the same ads, channels, and short-term wins, only to discover that growth stalls and loyalty disappears. How can you build something memorable and scale without losing trust? The way forward starts with obsessing over customers, not competitors. As a growth and e-commerce leader, Cherene Aubert maintains that brands should use customer insights — from ad data to conversations — to guide creative strategy, redefine quality as value for the customer, and invest in full-funnel thinking. This requires originality, emotional resonance, and the space for creative teams to build long-term demand rather than quick conversions. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris sits down with Cherene Aubert, CEO of Growth Capital, to discuss how brands can escape the marketing echo chamber. Cherene explains why copying competitors backfires, how full-funnel content drives sustainable growth, and how premium and beauty brands can stay culturally relevant.

Instead of following trends, Satisfy chooses to build a brand that's different. Daniel said it best: “The easiest way to do something quite different is to not look at anything at all.”In a landscape where brands benchmark competitors and chase fleeting trends, Satisfy focuses on culture. They hire for it before skill, treat customers as guests, and think in decades rather than moments.This philosophy shines through in the Satisfy Pro Team. It's not just a sponsorship roster, but a reflection of the brand's commitment to process and discipline. The key takeaway: Most brands chase relevance, but Satisfy builds consistency. They react to culture, while Satisfy hires for it. They aim for long-term impact, not short-term hype.This conversation is a masterclass in long-term brand strategy and the discipline of saying no.Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/CRUMwdDoj5o

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Arielle Loupos, founder of Flower Girl, about the often-stigmatized topic of menstrual care and period products. They discuss harmful ingredients in traditional menstrual products, the importance of sustainable, non-toxic alternatives, and cycle syncing as a tool for self-awareness and empowerment. Arielle shares her journey creating Flower Girl and emphasizes the need for open conversations about menstruation to break the stigma and promote women's health. Takeaways Menstrual care is often surrounded by misinformation and stigma. Traditional period products may contain harmful chemicals and toxins. Organic labeling on menstrual products can be misleading. Sustainable and non-toxic alternatives are essential for women's health. Cycle syncing can enhance self-awareness and optimize daily life. Women should honor their menstrual cycles and allow for rest. Understanding menstrual health is crucial for overall well-being. Open conversations about menstruation can empower women. Education about menstruation should start at a young age. Women's health research needs to be prioritized and expanded.
